About the Sorrento – Capri crossing
Capri is connected to Sorrento by a 7-nautical-mile ferry crossing across the Bay of Naples, with a journey time of 20 to 30 minutes. Four operators—Alilauro, Caremar, Navigazione Libera del Golfo (NLG), and SNAV—provide service on the route. Fares start from €21.40. There are currently four sailings listed in the timetable every day, with the first departure at 07:45 and the last at 11:25.
Operators and Timetables on the Sorrento–Capri Route
All four companies operate high-speed vessels on this crossing. The fastest services are scheduled for 20 minutes, while the longest duration is 30 minutes, making the choice of operator less about speed and more about specific departure times. Alilauro, NLG, and SNAV all run hydrofoils or fast catamarans. Caremar also operates fast ferries on this short route.
The service operates daily. From Capri, onward ferry connections are available to the island of Ischia. The high frequency and short crossing time make this a primary transport link between the Sorrento peninsula and the island of Capri, as there is no fixed link.
Your destination
About Capri
Capri has no airport and no bridge, so every visitor arrives by boat at Marina Grande, the island's only passenger port. The two main gateways are Naples (about 45-50 minutes by hydrofoil from Molo Beverello) and Sorrento (the closest mainland port, roughly 20-30 minutes). Fast hydrofoils, catamarans and slower car ferries run year-round, with extra seasonal links from Ischia and the Amalfi Coast between April and October. This guide covers ports, operators, timing and the island's strict car rules.
